<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I will be applying to colleges this year and was looking at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>I will most probably major in Computer Science/Engineering. I wanted to know if Dartmouth is good in these fields.</p>
<p>I am also interested in economics. Is Dartmouth good for economics?</p>
<p>Also, is aid for international students at Dartmouth very limited (I know it's not need blind)? If you could tell me how many internationals got aid last year it'll be really helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Econ and Government are amongst the 2 most popular majors at the school. Maybe someone majoring in econ or computer engineering will give you their perspective.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is not need blind for international students in the admissions process. However if you are admitted the school will meet 100% of your demonstrated need.</p>
<p>In the class of 2008 there were 54 international students,.</p>
<p>In section H5 of the schools's common data report it states that 147 (of 209 degree seeking students) international students received need based aid and the average $ amount was $31,134</p>
<p>Class of 2009, all the 5 students from China get need based financial aid starting from $25,000 to $44,000.
What I feel is that Dartmouth, though claiming not need blind to international students, is not a college that money could easily pave the way, as is with some other top 10 college.
It's really generous, I think.</p>
<p>I'm an international student. A friend of mine, also an international, applied to many places I did. My EFC was about 2.5 times his.</p>
<p>He got rejected from Dartmouth (not need-blind), while I was accepted.
He got rejected from Swarthmore (not need-blind), while I was waitlisted.
He got into Williams (Williams is need-blind), while I was only waitlisted.
He was waitlisted at Harvard (also need-blind), while I was rejected. </p>
<p>Take from that what you want.</p>
